Mackenzie, Hugh

Will the Liberals?

Ontario Chose Change

This is a budget that reflects the values Canadians hold dear- whether it's fighting unemployment and poverty, protecting Medicare and the social safety net, or ensuring that everyone pays their fair share of the cost of government. This budget shows how unemployment can be cut in half and how poverty can be cut by one-third in the next few years. It shows how Ottawa can afford to put money back into education and health care, while reducing the debt burden faster than Paul Martin plans. It shows how selective, targeted tax increases for the wealthy can generate some needed additional resources without penalizing average Canadians.

When Worlds Collide

Invaluable information on key issues for Canadians -- energy, water, security and surveillance, military integration, social services Living With Uncle examines the new realities of Canada's relations with the US in a world of a Conservative government in Ottawa, a trade agreement that often proves ineffective, and the post 9/11 American preoccupation with security and military dominance. In this book a new generation of analysts offers fresh insights into the challenges to Canada's independence, identity and democracy. Contributors include Diana Gibson and Dave Thompson, former BC Hydro Board member Marjorie Cohen, human rights analyst Maureen Webb, University of Toronto law professor Kent Roach, Michael Byers of the University of British Columbia, Lloyd Axworthy, Maude Barlow, Ed Broadbent, Mel Hurtig, and Avi Lewis. Canadians concerned about the future of their country will find Living With Uncle a source of understanding, analysis, hope and inspiration.
